SfiEIUrr SENDfcRSON TR4&9 mil INTO CHICAGO '? '3' vX 7< l-x- , U2&SL1 u. v * v {Woodstock Sentinel] Aft^r a search of two weeks, follow­ ing up a very important clue Sheriff Henderson on last Thursday arrested two suspects in the Addison murder and bank robbery case, only to be obliged to release his prisoners because the bank cashier was UDable to -identi­ fy the men with absolute certainty. The two young men whom Sheriff Henderson placed under arrest were lwo characters who had taken an ex­ tensive automobile trip to points in­ cluding Delavan Lake, McHenry and other points along the route of the Addison bank robbers, who were auto- mobilists and mechanics. ' Sheriff Henderson followed up the clue, and from Mr. Bickler at Mc- . * Henry, at whose hotel the two then had stopped, he gained valuable infor­ mation for directing his search. The two men in their conversation chanced to name some Chicago parties whom Mr. Bickler knew and the three men engaged in conversation on this mat­ ter of general interest. Mr. Bickler and two detectives ac­ companied Sheriff Henderson to Chi­ cago last Thursday, looked up thtse mutual acquaintances and thru them learned the whereabouts of tli$ two young automobilists. ' The directions given Sheriff Hender­ son's party led them to a garage on Belmont, near Clark and Halsted. Sheriff Henderson and the two detec­ tives waited nearby, Mr. Bickler being instructed to remain within the garage if the two men were Within, and to come out inside of five minutes if they were not there, Mr. Bickler did not re-appear at the end of the five minutes, so Sheriff Henderson and the two detectives en­ tered, found the two m#n and placed them under arrest. The suspects were taken to Addison. News of the arrest reached Addison and spread like wild fire. , Practically the entire population of the town turned out to meet the train bringing the sheriff and his prisoners. The suspects were badly frightened. Th&man believed to have been the one who entered the bank and com­ mitted the crime was taken before the cashier, who declared that the man answered«the description almost per­ fectly. However, feeling the serious­ ness of the charge and the great re­ sponsibility attached to a positive iden­ tification, the cashier declared he could not positively identify the man. Under the circumstances, Sheriff Henderson felt that he could not hold the njen, and they were accordingly released. The two young men placed under arrest by Sheriff Henderson are said to be of a somewhat suspicious character. Altho considerably agitated when told that the cashier had declared one as answering almost perfectly to the de-- scription of the masked robbw, tl"> man declared he was innocent. Sheriff Henderson has in his posses­ sion a handsome solid gold watch which e of the young automobilists had left ith a farmer near McHenry as secur­ ity for payment for some gasoline for their machine. The two m4n, after leaving Biokler's at McHenry, were stalled in the road a,nd discovered that they were out of gasoline. They went up to & farm and asked if they might purchase some gasoline. The farmer, who had only that day purchased a supply, readily consented' and proceeded to pour the gasoline out for them. After he had finished he looked around for the two jnen, but they were not in sight. Go- jpng around to the corn crib he found ' them. "Your gasoline is ready," he told them. They Informed him they had no money to pay for it, but one of them drew the gold watch from his pocket and offered it as security, say­ ing he would send for it the following day. The watch was never.redeemed and Sheriff Henderson now has it in his possession. When asked by Sheriff Henderson where he got the watch the fellow told a roundabout story pi the watch being, purchased by a cor* tain person, returned to the jeweler's for $10, bought by a. friend and then handed over to himself. The watch is an elegant one and la probably valued fit about $40. : DO WE WANT ITT / ' Since the fact has become known at a number of the small towns about s are organizing brass bands, the uestion is being agitated here in Mc- enry. Some of the local musicians ave talked over the band question at iffgrent times in the past year, but that's as far as they ever got. We all know that McHenry has boasted some good bands in past years and it is an established fact that the material is still here for as good if not better a band as McHenry has ever had. The older band men in town are in favor of organizing and are quite anxious to have someone Btart the ball a-rolling. Over at Grayslake the Commercial club has taken the matter in hand and an excellent little musical organization is the result. The business men of that village have financed the project and in turn for this assistance the band has promised to give the merchants at least one concert a week absolutely free of charge. The same thing could be accomplished right here in McHenry. .Will some of the more enterprising men start something in this direction? MOSENCOMMODORE Frank I.
